    The talks are being held after the farm unions agreed to resume negotiations on Tuesday, accepting the government's invitation, while also reminding it of their "non-negotiable" demands.

  • The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) - an umbrella body of 40 protesting farmer unions - wrote to the Union Government late Tuesday night, accepting the invitation for restarting negotiations.

    It, however, also said that they would only discuss certain issues as per its four-point agenda that was sent to the government earlier. The meeting is likely to be held at 2:00 pm today.

  • The Agenda

    What exactly does the four-point agenda include?

  • The farm unions' four-point agenda includes the modalities that need to be adopted for repealing the three contentious farm laws, and the mechanism required for ensuring the minimum support price (MSP) is legally guaranteed.

    The agenda also includes excluding farmers from penalties under the Commission for the Air Quality Management ordinance and withdrawal of the proposed Electricity Amendment Bill, 2020 to protect farmers' interests.

  • "My only request to farmers is that clause-wise discussion based on logic should be done and not seek 'yes' or 'no' answer," Singh told ANI.

    "The farmers should at least see the implementation of these laws for two years as an experiment. We will be ready to make necessary amendments if there is a need," the Defence Minister added.
